第一

This is a story of my 2-year-long struggle with an unwanted
habit of cracking my neck, which had gotten out of hand around
2013-2015. If it seems to you like it's not a serious problem,
consider:

it's a serious health hazard (it seems that repeated
strain of the neck area can eventually cause e.g. a
stroke),

it made me look socially awkward, bordering on retarded at
the peak of intensity,

there are powerful subconscious mechanisms that regulate
muscle tension and produce the impulse to stretch, and
denying them results in ever growing pressure that eventually
breaks your will, or if it doesn't it happens at the
slightest lapse in attention,
